Acne is the most common skin disease—an estimated 80% of the population has experienced it at some point in their lives. It occurs when oil mixed with dead skin cells clogs follicles, leading to the growth of bacteria. One potential way to treat acne is an anti-acne facial performed by a licensed aesthetician. What is an anti-acne facial?Anti-acne facials attempt to kill acne bacteria, unclog pores, and reduce oil production.
What happens during the treatment?Aestheticians first remove makeup and dirt from the skin using a cleanser formulated for acne. After analyzing acne, blackheads, and red marks with a brightly lit magnifying lamp, the aesthetician usually opens up pores with steam and exfoliates the skin. They may perform extractions to remove clogs, though they should never attempt to extract deep and inflamed blemishes such as nodules or cysts.
The skincare expert might then perform a facial massage to boost lymphatic drainage before applying various products to reduce surface oil, fight acne bacteria, unclog pores, and calm inflamed skin.
How long does the facial take?Like most facials, they generally last about 60 minutes.
What special ingredients and techniques are typically used to target acne?
Aestheticians usually use a cleanser containing such proven anti-acne ingredients as benzoyl peroxide (which helps kill acne bacteria) or salicylic acid (which helps exfoliate the clogged pores). They may also use a clay mask or other oil-fighting products, as well as products with anti-inflammatory ingredients like chamomile and feverfew.
What are the limitations of anti-acne facials?
Depending on the severity of your acne and the treatment’s ingredients, anti-acne facials may not be effective at all. It’s important to look at the ingredients used in the skincare products to determine whether they’ll be effective. For instance, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and sulfur are proven acne fighters, but they may not work on moderate to severe acne. People with moderate to severe acne are usually better off seeing a dermatologist. However, those who suffer from mild acne might benefit from professional exfoliation, sebum-softening steam, oil-fighting masks, and proven over-the-counter acne-fighting ingredients.

As skin ages, it becomes wrinkled, looser, thinner, more prone to dryness, and discolored. Certain behaviors, such as a lifetime of sun exposure and smoking, worsen these effects, but all people eventually experience them, usually beginning in their 30s. Anti-aging facials use products geared toward mature skin to soften these effects.
What is an anti-aging facial?
An anti-aging facial is a basic facial enhanced with anti-aging products, such as collagen masks and vitamin-C serums.
What happens during the treatment?
Aestheticians first slather skin with a cleanser, most likely a creamy formula, then remove the cleanser with warm water and a facial sponge, cloth, or cotton pad. A skin analysis follows, and a brightly lit magnifying lamp aids aestheticians as they determine the severity of the client’s wrinkles, age spots, broken capillaries, and dryness.
Next, aestheticians exfoliate away dead skin cells using a manual exfoliant (like a scrub, microdermabrasion, or dermaplaning) or a chemical exfoliant. They also open up pores with steam. Extractions to clear clogged individual pores may be performed next. Though mature skin generally doesn’t break out, it is prone to blackheads.
A calming facial massage that can improve lymphatic drainage usually comes next, followed by the application of a mask targeted to aging skin, such as a collagen mask. Anti-aging facials conclude with an application of serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen.
How long does the facial take?Anti-aging facials generally last 60 minutes.
What special ingredients and techniques are typically used to target the signs of aging?
Products with vitamin C are frequently used because vitamin C can help fight skin-damaging free radicals, boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and brighten skin. Collagen masks are often used as well. They either put extra collagen directly onto the skin or help boost the skin’s natural collagen production. They also add moisture.
What are the limitations of anti-aging facials?
A series of treatments is generally needed for optimal results. Deeper lines and stubborn age spots may require more intensive treatments, which can include everything from laser resurfacing to cosmetic fillers like Botox or Dysport.

A trip down the skin-care aisle in the drugstore can be a bewildering experience at any age. But as fine lines start to appear on your face, it seems as though the number of lotions and potions available to you increases exponentially. When it comes to skin care for women over 50, where should you begin?A good starting point would be a consultation with an expert. Although every woman’s skin is different, we spoke to two industry professionals to learn the essentials of caring for mature skin.What Can You Expect?Men, of course, will also notice skin aging. But when women experience the onset of menopause, they may find that the process accelerates. At the very least, they’ll notice substantial differences in their skin.“There are hormonal changes, so the normal checks and balances in your skin get altered,” said Dr. Sejal K. Shah of Smarter Skin Dermatology in New York City. “I find that women, as they hit menopause, [suddenly] think their skin looks a lot older.”Common signs of aging are wrinkling, a loss of skin elasticity, discoloration, and a redistribution of fat that surfaces as thinning skin. Kate Leydon, founder of Chicago’s Ruby Room spa and salon, tends to notice an overall lack of brightness. Many women will experience much drier skin—even if they had oily or normal skin for most of their adult life. That dryness may force them to rethink parts of their skin-care regimen. (For example, the products used to combat teenage pimples might be too harsh for adult acne.)
A skin analysis from a dermatologist or aesthetician can help pinpoint your particular skin concerns.Caring for Mature Skin in Three StepsYou’re going to hear it again and again: the key to skin care for women over 50—indeed, for women of any age—is to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Dr. Shah typically recommends a skin-care regimen that includes a moisturizer infused with peptides, a sunscreen, and an antioxidant serum. Moisturizers, especially natural, oil-based ones, help the skin retain hydration. Peptides, the building blocks of proteins, can boost the synthesis of collagen, which slows down with age. More collagen production means tauter, fuller skin.Sunscreen is essential because thinning skin is especially prone to wrinkle-causing sun damage. The American Cancer Society suggests using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher; however, regular reapplication is more important than an extremely high SPF. An antioxidant serum also helps to prevent UV damage.Gentle cleansing—perhaps with cold cream, that favorite of grandmas everywhere—can keep the skin hydrated, whereas daily use of exfoliating agents can target certain skin concerns. For this purpose, look to skin-care products with retinoids or vitamin A.“A lot of people are introduced to retinoids when they’re very young because they help with acne,” Dr. Shah said. “When you get older, they can help with pigments, [and] improve the overall color and evenness of the skin. They regularly exfoliate the skin. They also help with collagen and elastin production.”
Don’t Skip Out on Spa DaysThere’s plenty you can do for your skin outside of your own bathroom. Both experts noted that cosmetic resurfacing—laser treatments, microdermabrasions, peels—can help maintain skin smoothness.
Leydon extolled the benefits of monthly facials for everyone. “Women over 50 benefit from skin-brightening treatments in addition to any facial,” she added. “We use brightening fruit enzymes and a diamond-tip wand, which pulsates and helps to penetrate the skin and provide deep exfoliation.”Dr. Shah recommended Ultherapy, a noninvasive treatment that seeks to mimic the effects of a face-lift. It uses ultrasound waves to lift skin on the brow, chin, and neck, reducing the appearance of listing eyelids, jowls, and neck lines. If you’re especially concerned by wrinkles, she added, you might want head to a doctor’s office. Injectables and dermal fillers, such as Botox and Juvéderm, can temporarily restore a more youthful look to faces.Track down more skin-care recommendations:These Anti-Aging Treatments Help Divert the March of TimeFive Surprising Facts About Skin Care
